15 Things You Can Do in 15 Minutes While You’re Pooping

In the vein of creativity, productivity and efficiency, I am unearthing ways to achieve all three in an unlikely place - the bathroom. Yup, you read that correctly. I am talking about progress while pooping.

In my first blog post, I discussed 4 different lengths of time it may take one to poop and what can be done during this time as a captive audience. Last month, I discussed 10 things you could get done if your a 10 minute pooper and the month before that I reviewed 5 things that could get done if you’re a 5 minute pooper.

This month, I am covering 15 things you can do within a 15 minute timeframe while otherwise occupied.

Let’s dive in!

  1. Clean up the contacts in your phone - how many John’s do you really talk to?

  2. Plan your weekly menu - enchiladas on Tuesday? Hearty salad on Thursday? Pizza on Saturday?

  3. Schedule those appointments! We’re talking doctors, tire rotations, oil changes, pedicures…

  4. Write a blog post. How is it due again?

  5. Write a letter to yourself. Write yourself a letter that you will open a year from now. What are your hopes, dreams and messages for your future self? Write a notecard, seal it in an envelope and add an “open on” date to the envelope and put the envelope somewhere you will remember it!

The next 10 things expand on the what you can do during the 5 and 10 minute bathroom visits.

  1. Read a book

  2. Vacation planning

  3. Fold your laundry

  4. Grocery shopping

  5. Make a phone call

  6. Learn a language

  7. Social media

  8. Making a shopping list

  9. Resting

  10. Playing your favorite game app

Heck, even if you don’t have to actually poop, changing your location can greatly help with creativity and brain flow. Simply head to the bathroom and sit there. You might be surprised at how helpful this scenery change can be!
